15 Mysterious Locations

I stumbled upon this nice little list of mysterious locations and thought I would share. Some of these I have never heard of before, namely the
China/Indian mountain region one which I enjoyed reading about.

AUTEC, the Caribbean

AUTEC (officially known as the Atlantic Underwater Testing & Evaluation Center) is what many UFO researchers call the U.S. Navy's version of Area
51.

Not only have many UFOs been reported in its vicinity over the years, but hundreds of USOs (Unidentified Submerged Objects) have been seen near
this super-secret facility as well. (The Navy denies all this, of course.) Maybe the eeriest thing about AUTEC is that it's located on the Bahamian
island of Andros, which puts it smack in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle.

Homestead Air Force Base, Florida

Located south of Miami,
It is claimed that one night in 1974 Jackie Gleason a well-known UFO enthusiast gained access to Homestead Air Force Base through his golfing buddy
President Nixon, and there he viewed the remains of a crashed flying saucer and dead alien bodies.
Gleason never spoke openly about the event. The original person telling the Gleason/alien body story was Beverly Gleason, Gleason's second wife.

San Luis Valley, Colorado

Located in the southwest corner of Colorado, the San Luis Valley is a place with reported incidents involving not only UFOs but paranormal
activity. Ghosts, "shadow people," unexplained lights, strange animals, and even flying humans has been rumored as well. Coincidentally, the valley
is located close to a number of highly classified military installations.

Wenceslas Mine, Poland

Located in southwestern Poland, this facility has long been rumored to be the site of a secret World War II program to build a propulsion unit for
Nazi UFOs, better known as "The Bell," Some believe that this is where Nazi scientists worked on Alien Technology.

Archuleta Mesa, New Mexico

Located in Dulce, New Mexico, some claim this mountain is home to 50,000 reptile-like ETs who, with the approval of the U.S. government, perform
ghastly experiments on human beings with the ultimate purpose of enslaving mankind to work in plutonium mines on the moon and Mars. Most others
dismiss Archuleta Mesa as the weirdest tall-tale in history. The debate about the mysterious location goes on.

M-Triangle, Russia

Located near the Ural Mountains in Russia.
Residents report lots of strange goings on including strange lights, unidentified flying machines, encounters with translucent beings, and weird
symbols and letters written across the sky. There are even reports that people who visit the M-Triangle leave feeling more improved both physically
and mentally than before.

Falkirk Triangle, Scotland

Some ufologists claim that more UFOs are seen over Scotland than any other country in the world. Many of these sightings are made within the
Falkirk Triangle, an area near Edinburgh, where UFOs are reported on a near-daily basis. Adding to the mystery, close to the middle of the Falkirk
Triangle is the village Rosslyn, which is the site of Rosslyn Chapel, the mysterious church that has been connected to the Knights Templar (and not
just in Dan Brown books).

S4, Nevada

S4, said to be located inside a desert mountain 20 miles south of Area 51, is rumored to be an enormous underground facility where the U.S. military
builds flying saucers based on reverse-engineering of recovered/crashed UFOs. However, some researchers think S4 is a complete fabrication created by
the CIA to fool Russian satellites into photographing nothing but empty desert.

Saddam's Area 51

When the Invasion of Iraq began in March 2003, U.S. forces paid particular attention to a place called the Little Zab River Valley, bombing it
frequently and sending in scores of Special Forces. Located west of Baghdad, the valley was reportedly the site of what many called Saddam's Area 51.
Ever since the first Gulf War, reports have come out of Iraq that Saddam's forces had recovered a crashed UFO, brought it to the Little Zab River
Valley, reverse-engineered some of its technology, and, from this, created a sort of extraterrestrial WMD.

Britain's Area 51

Many UFO researchers believe Britain's Area 51 can be found beneath a stately English mansion called Rudloe Manor. A small city was constructed
underneath the manor during World War II as a place to build fighter planes away from falling German bombs. Rudloe Manor is located close to Salisbury
Plain, the home of Stonehenge.

Tonopah, Nevada

About 70 miles northwest of Area 51 is a place so secret, even people in the U.S. intelligence community rarely talk about it. Called the Tonopah
Test Range, F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter was kept under wraps there for ten years without anybody but the president and the highest reaches of the
U.S. military knowing about it. The Nighthawks left Tonopah years ago but the highly secret base remains operational. This begs the question: What's
being kept there now?

Tonopah, Arizona

Strangely, almost no UFOs are reported over Tonopah, Nevada. However, 500 miles to the southeast, is Tonopah, Arizona, where dramatic UFO
sightings happen all the time. These include reports of gigantic aerial ships accompanied by fighter planes and at least one encounter between UFO
pilots and local citizens. The Palo Verde nuclear plant, the largest of its kind in the world, is close by; many believe this is what attracts all the
UFOs.

Kapustin Yar, Russia

Kapustin Yar is a combination space launch facility and secret weapons base. Many sources in Russia, including famous pilots and aeronautical experts,
insist that Russian fighter jets and UFOs engaged in numerous dogfights over Kapustin Yar after UFOs attempted to interfere with some early Russian
missile launches.

Aksai Chin

Located in the Himalayan Mountains on the border of China and India,

people in this remote area claim to see UFOs coming out of deep ravines and crevices on a regular basis. These sightings are so frequent, when
children in the area are asked to draw something from their everyday lives, many of them reportedly draw pictures of flying saucer-like objects. China
and India fought a war over this snowy region in 1962 and, these days, both governments restrict access to this mysterious corner of the
world.

Pine Gap, Australia

Pine Gape, located in the geographic center of Australia, is considered one of the most secret places on earth. It is from here that the NSA most
likely controls America's newest fleet of spy satellites, many of which are said to eavesdrop on other nations and targeted individuals as well. But
Pine Gap is also known for some spectacular UFO sightings: witnesses report seeing interactions between UFO occupants and personnel at the base. Could
the U.S. have drones operating from Pine Gap that are disguised to look like UFOs?

Wow, these are fab! I've never even heard of half of them... I have a couple to add from home:

MOD Machrihanish, Scotland

Formerly RAF Machrihanish, this base has long been rumoured to have hosted the hypersonic "Aurora". The base's history includes Vulcan Bombers,
Navy SEALS and F-117s. There are many, many reports of "black triangle" UFOs around the area & going up into Glasgow, many of them moving at high
speed. There are also reports of the doughnuts on a rope contrail being seen around here

MOD Boscombe Down, Wiltshire, England

MOD Boscombe Down is currently operated by QinetiQ, who do various aircraft tests there. However, my mole at NATO has confirmed that the USA still
have bits and bobs going on at Boscombe Down, enough things to need full time staff there. Boscombe Down was the base involved in a crash of a
"stealth plane" in 1994, the aircraft was covered and various CIA, SAS & possibly even a JANET aircraft then flew in and the aircraft wreck was
taken back to the US in a C5. (More info on that here)

I live literally across the street from Homestead AFB. The community is called Waterstone. Aside from the noise of the F-35's and other various
jets, and the sonic booms caused by those jets, there are other unexplained noises (at least to a civilian) that weird the neighborhood out. In
particular, sometimes at night there is a loud droning rumble that will start up and go on for a while and suddenly stop. There will be loud BOOMS
that shake the entire neighborhood (not a sonic boom). We've seen strings of lights in formation in the sky around the base and over by Turkey Point
as well as around the sky of Homestead and Florida City. Crazy stuff.

I believe these booms that aren't sonic booms are called sky quakes.... Various scientists have tried to explain them and failed, but the general
opinion is that they're from hypersonic aircraft instead of the normal supersonic aircraft. Really interesting actually

The first post, granted it comes from internet sources, has to be the worst collection of crap ever posted on ATS. Besides mixing it up with UFO and
space alien garbage, the factual elements are mostly wrong. Let me just debunk one:

About 70 miles northwest of Area 51 is a place so secret, even people in the U.S. intelligence community rarely talk about it. Called the Tonopah Test
Range, F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter was kept under wraps there for ten years without anybody but the president and the highest reaches of the U.S.
military knowing about it.

Kept under wraps for 10 years at Tonopah. Really? The YF-117A first flight was on 6/18/1981, mind you at Groom, not even Tonopah, where it was
established later. By 7/11/1986, one crashed in Bakersfield (well not on city hall). The USAF released a photo of it in 1986.

And just how secret is the Tonopah Test Range? It is so secret that they have a website: Official TTR website

But on the bright side, its easy to do.
Step 1. Find a picture of a location.
Step 2. Make up some "claimed" and "reports" of some stuff.

Philharmonius Air Force Base, Alaska

As well as being the claimed location of a crashed UFO, there are many reports of strange sounds and vibrations that make people feel unwell. Its is
said that after President Carter visited the base in July 1980, that he was so shocked by what he saw that he wanted it closed immediately, but was
overruled. There are claims that it is also the location of research into 4th dimension transportation portals.

This is the famed Quetzalcoatl statue in San Jose. Some say a huge dog came to town and er well left it. While it appears to be a steaming pile of
something or other, the statue actually leads to an underground base, with the steam being gas escaping from the underground structure. Some of the
downtown bums have been spotted kind of close to the statute, facing it, with their hands supposedly trying to unlock it. Hard to tell. All I know is
you cant really see their hands, but I assume they are trying to manipulate some sort of control. Thus far I have not seen portal opened, but maybe I
need to wait for the right bum.

Well now I wouldn't go that far. I mean the worst? really? I have read a lot worse on here.

least this one is entertaining

Yeah this thread does fit in 'Area 51 and other facilities' it would also fit in the 'Aliens and UFO' forum. I decided to place it here, if it bothers
you that much go ask a mod to move it, or maybe just ignore it?

At least what garaic posts is factual information! 'Drones operating from pine gap' lol great research, it's a Shane pine gap doesn't even have a
runway! If your looking for secret drone testing I suggest you look up woomera test range, that's where it's at

Where do I claim that to be factual?? Most of what I quoted in my thread is merely speculation.

I assume your talking about one that could hover? You'd still need a hangar and taxiways, none of which Pine Gap has.

If planes could land there I'm sure they would instead of landing at RAAF tindall In C-5's because by landing their cargo planes there and people
being able to see what and how much of what they're offloading it gives a general idea of how many people are at the base.

Also I bet your probably gonna say a big door opens from the ground and the drones hover out of it, but the amount of heat generated doing that would
be a nightmare trying to cool on the fly and there's one thing thing you don't want your new hover drone doing and that's ingesting hot air, the
F-35 had a few problems with this during initial testing and had to use a hover pad to dissipate the heat.

Im sure if they really wanted to conceal a hangar they could find a way to do it. I recall people speculating that there may be one hidden in the
mountainside etc on here before, but again its only speculation and with no hard evidence

Thanks for the thread. I've read and heard of some of them and others I have not.
Let ye who wanders here read and do further research of their own accord on what they believe to be true or not.

Good OP in my opinion.

Mount Shasta - Redding, CA

The Mystery: This stunning snow-capped peak in the Cascade Mountain range, 60 miles south of the Oregon border, has long been considered one of the
planet’s great “cosmic power spots,” luring everyone from Native Americans to Buddhist monks and hippies. Its sacred slopes are home to a
potpourri of mysteries: spontaneous altered states; UFO sightings; crystal caves; encounters with Ascended Masters; underground military bases; even
the rumored home to Lemurians, surviving members of a sensitive super-race some believe existed 12,000 years ago during the time of Atlantis.

Fact: A chance encounter with a strange group of warm, seemingly enlightened people in Shasta Valley inspired James Hilton to author the classic 1933
novel Lost Horizon, a tale about the idyllic community of Shangri-La. Others claim similar real-life experiences, but the mountain’s sheer natural
beauty is inspiration enough for most.
